ELECTRIC SYSTEM OPERATION

Level 1 Charging (120V — Requires NEMA 5–15 Outlet)

• Level 1 charging is done by using a conventional 120Volt AC (Alternating Current)

grounded receptacle along with the NEMA 5–15 ElectricVehicle Supply Equipment

(EVSE) that comes standard with your vehicle. Refer to “Vehicle Charging Cord” for fur-

ther information.

Level 2 Charging (240V — Requires A 40 Amp Circuit Breaker Or

Greater)

• Level 2 charging is accomplished by using

240V permanently mounted EVSEs and is

the preferred method for charging your

vehicle.

• A Level 2 charging station can be installed

at your residence.

• The Level 2 unit and installation service is

available for purchase at your authorized

studio.

Charge Times

Type of Charge

Approximate Time

Approximately 4 hours to fully recharge

* 30 minutes will restore 10 miles of range *

Level 2 (240V/30A)

The following factors determine how long a battery recharge will take:

• The battery’s current state of charge (percent depleted)

• What recharging device is being used (Level 1 or Level 2)

• Charging times are estimates based on a completely discharged high voltage battery pack.

• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition state of charge and temperature of

the high voltage battery pack.

EVSE Operation And Status Information

Indicator

Description

Green indicates READY

RED Indicates a fault

1 — AC Indicator LED

3 — Charge Level Indicator LED's

• When the EVSE is first plugged in it will go through an initialization and self test. For the

first three seconds after plugging in your EVSE all the LED's will remain off.

• After approximately three seconds the EVSE performs an internal self test and Ground

Continuity Test.This process takes approximately six seconds.

• During the internal self test the unit turns on one Charge Level Indicator LED every 1.5

seconds until all the Charge Level Indicator LED's are illuminated.
